special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, April 2O-AIf Gun
ningham, one Of the men charged with the
murder of Police Captain Sam Sixkiner
of the Indian Territory, was lodged in
jail this evening by Deputy Marshal John
Carroll and James Pittgrew. Sixkiller
was murdered at MuskOgee, Greek
nation, on last Christmas evening by Dick
Wanna and Cunningham, who are broth
ers-in-law. They have since been st
large, the government having offered $500
reward, each, for their apprehension. On
Monday night last Carroll and Pittgrew
were at the house of an Indian in the
Canadian district, Cherokee nation, when
VINO should walk in but Aft Cunningham,
on whom the officers at once took the
drop, and he surrendered without any
show of resistance. Cunningham's faith
er is a prominent merchant of Eureka
Springs, Ark, and man Of high stand
ing not only at Eureka, but throughout
the Cherokee nation. Naturally he will
no doubt use his influence to get his son
out of trouble. Wanna, who is still at
